Ricky Johnson scores 24, but B-CU falls short to UMES, 74-70

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- — Maryland Eastern Shore coach Bobby Collins was not happy with his team's free-throw shooting down the stretch. But the Hawks hit enough to withstand Bethune-Cookman's late rally.

Brandon Stewart hit a long 3-pointer with 16 seconds left to pull B-CU to within two points, but Devin Martin broke the Wildcats' press and dunked with 8 seconds to go to give Eastern Shore a 74-70 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference victory Saturday at Moore Gymnasium.

“If we didn't get the steal, we wanted to foul them right away, but they threw it real quick, and then another quick pass got them the dunk,” B-CU coach Gravelle Craig said. “We've played some of the top teams in the MEAC real tough, but we have to get over the top.”
